Xin Fu Hao's face turned red. She knew that Qi Wanrong was laughing at her original needlework and thread.

What Qi Wanrong said is true. It seems that Xin Fuhao has never taken any needlework. In the past six months, although the embroidered lady has given me the teachings, Xin Fuhao has really put in the needlework. Some time ago, Xun Qingran could see obvious needle eyes on Xin Fuhao's fingers, and it has only been much better recently.

"The little gown made by Miss Fu Hao last time was also very good." Xun Qingran said.

"It's good that the lady likes it." Xin Fu said happily, "How is Xuan'er wearing?"

"The jacket is a little bigger, and Xuan'er can wear it later." Xun Qingran said.

Xin Fu was a little disappointed, "I'll do something smaller when I go back."

"It's rare that you are so dedicated to Xuan'er." Xun Qingran asked someone to pour tea for Xin Fu's treatment, "It's enough to have this intention."

"Xuan'er is smart and lively, I really like it. This is also fate. I am happy to do something for Xuan'er." Xin Fu said with a smile.

Xun Qingran laughed twice.

Xuan'er is not here, and Qi Wanrong is here, so Xin Fu won't stay for a long time, and then got up and said goodbye.

"Sister-in-law, why is she so attentive?" Qi Wanrong curled her lips to Xin Fuhao's back.

"Maybe... I finally understand the truth." Xun Qingran said lightly.

……………………

When Qi You came back from outside, Xun Qingran was sitting on the kang with a knee pad sewn. When he was at the door, a little girl told her that Fusheng and Xuan'er were both sleeping in the room, so she deliberately took a lighter step in.

Qi You took off the cloak and handed it to Malt and put it away. Then he walked to the side of the kang, looked down at the two sleeping meat balls with red faces.

"I'm sleeping so well." Qi You said and stretched out his hand.

Xun Qingran stood up and blocked Qi You's hand.

"I'm tired of playing, so let them sleep for a while." Xun Qingran said, and asked the nurse to take care of the two children. She and Qi You came to the room next to her.

"Second Master, can you please fit?" Xun Qingran handed the knee pad to Qi You.

Qi You took the knee pad and tried it on his legs.

"Just right." Qi You said, looking at the exquisite Pegasus pattern on it, "These things are hard to worry about. If you want to take care of the two children yourself, it's better to leave them to the girls."

"It's just that I have free time to do this one or two pieces, so I'm so tired. Taking care of Fusheng, Xuan'er, and the helpers of the nurses and girls, it's okay." Xun Qingran took the knee pad back and continued to embroider.

"It seems to be a little thin." Qi You pointed at Xun Qingran's face.

Xun Qingran turned her head and looked into the mirror. Her chin was not as fleshy as she was, so she had returned to her previous state of pregnancy.

"I haven't lost weight." Xun Qingran smiled, "Can I compare my little meat ball with Xuanxuan?"

"When I came in, I saw the people moving grain into the warehouse, saying it was millet. Qing Ran, where did you transport the millet from? What are you going to do?"

"In autumn, the Fourth Master read the official documents below and said that the harvest was not good this year. After that, the second brother Zheng came and asked him to help buy some millet. Not only me, but also Mrs. Dong, Mrs. Guo, Grandma Fang San, and other families in Pingxi Town, all of them have made a fortune." Xun Qingran said.

Xun Qingran always felt that it would be better to do more practical things than to worship Buddha. In the past winter, there were also wealthy families who donated porridge. She asked all the wives to discuss the porridge together. As a result, each family had a member of the company, bought grain, and waited for the porridge to be served in the twelfth lunar month.

"You are doing this kind of good deeds more and more precisely." Qi You said.

"Just just treat it as accumulating merits for Xuan'er and Fusheng." Xun Qingran said, in fact, it was also for Qi You to share his worries, but there was no need to say it out.

After dinner, the two of them coaxed Xuan'er and Fusheng for a while, and then they rested early.

I don’t know how long I slept, but in my sleepiness, Xun Qingran heard a crackling sound in the room.

"Qing Ran." Qi You woke Xun Qingran up and lit the light.

Looking at the candlestick that fell to the ground, Xun Qingran realized it later.

"Second Master, is there any earthquake?"

Qi You nodded, "Don't be afraid, we're fine."

"Xuan'er, there is still good life." Xun Qingran suddenly lost all sleepiness, suddenly sat up, and walked out without wearing any clothes.

"Fourth Master, grandma, I saw it. Brother and sister are fine and are still asleep." Madam Xu's voice came from outside.

Xun Qingran felt a little calm, and followed Qi You to put on her clothes, and then sat in the outside room.

"You just take your children here, don't have to go out. The foundation of this warm pavilion is more than ten meters deep, so there won't be any trouble easily." Qi You's face was serious, "I have to go out and take a look."

Xun Qingran nodded. Qi You have always been very serious and responsible for official business. If the earthquake is in a small range, the intensity is fine. If it is..., then Qi You will be very busy.

Xun Qingran helped Qi You put on a cloak, arranged for someone to call a lantern. After following Qi You out, he hurriedly ordered someone to carry both children and arranged for someone to patrol the courts in the mansion.

"When I went back to my grandma, I just moved slightly, nothing happened. Some of them slept heavily, but I didn't know where to move." Chen De's family came back to report.

Xun Qingran then felt relieved and still instructed everyone to be alert and pay special attention to the candle.

After this trouble, Xun Qingran lost her sleepiness and sat under the lamp and continued to embroider the knee pad that had not been embroidered yet.

It was bright and Qi You came back from outside.

"Prepare breakfast quickly." Qi You ordered.

Xun Qingran hurriedly ordered someone to prepare food. Looking at Qi You's face, he knew something was wrong.

"Second Master, what happened?"

"There is nothing in the city. The camp in the north just sent someone to deliver the letter." Qi You sat down and tidied up his sleeves, "It was the earth that moved there, which touched the city."

It turned out that the soldiers from the camp had just arrived to report the news that the earth had occurred at midnight last night, and there were plains. The two counties of Quling were instantly razed to the ground, and the camp in the north of the city was also affected. The casualties had not been counted, but the situation was not optimistic.

Xun Qingran immediately understood the seriousness of the matter. There were not only gold mines and salt wells in the places where the accident occurred, but also tens of thousands of prisoners who were working in labor.

"Is the Fourth Master going to come here in person?" Xun Qingran asked.

"Yeah." Qi You nodded, "I heard from the person who reported the news that such a big earth was only once in the fourth year of Jianyuan of the late emperor. It was very tragic at that time, and countless casualties were killed or injured. I will bring a battalion of troops here."

Xun Qingran didn't say anything, just looked at Qi You, with all his eyes worried.

"The location selection of Pingxi City is very particular. The county and county records in this place have never had any major natural disasters." Qi You said this, still a little worried. "I will stay at Tang when I was young and protect you mother and daughter. If there is something wrong, you can discuss it with him."

"What can I do here?" Xun Qingran was worried about Qi You. After the big shock, the aftershock was inevitable. Qi You's trip was very dangerous. With Tang You's side, the two of them worked together for many years, so they had more safety guarantees.

"Let Lord Tang and the Fourth Master go together." Xun Qingran said, "There is nothing in the city. There are Lord Dong and the officers and soldiers outside. The house is very solid at home. I closed the door early, so what else can I do."

Qi You refused, "I took away a battalion of troops and horses, and left a battalion, and let Tang Younian lead him, not only protecting the mansion, but also guarding against any accidents in the city."

Qi You said this, and Xun Qingran no longer objected.

Qi You finished breakfast soon, and Xun Qingran had already packed up a pack of clothes and also doubled the dry food and water.

Qi You picked up Xuan'er who was still sleeping, looked at her for a while, rubbed her chin full of stubble on Xuan'er's face.

Xuan'er unconsciously raised her little hand and snored on her face, but she did not wake up.

Qi You gently put down Xuan'er and said to Xun Qingran, "I'll leave the family to you."

"Don't worry, Master Fourth." Xun Qingran brought the newly made two knee pads and put them on Qi You's legs. In this kind of weather, you must protect your legs most.

"This one has not been embroidered yet, Fourth Master remember to come back soon." Xun Qingran looked at Qi You faintly and said.

Qi You held Xun Qingran in his arms and hugged her hard.

"The Fourth Master brings the Snow Tuan with me." Xun Qingran sent Qi You out, "The situation is not clear there. The Fourth Master went there, so what could it be for the Snow Tuan to send a message back."

"It's better to stay at home." Qi You asked Xun Qingran to send her to the second gate, so she asked her to come back and left with her men.

Xun Qingran returned to the main courtyard, thought about it, and released the snow ball away.

"Go and chase the Fourth Master," Xun Qingran pointed to the direction of the North City Gate, "Follow him and send a message back when there is news." Xun Qingran instructed, took out the bamboo flute, whistled, the snow ball flapped its wings and went straight into the sky. He saw Qi You's team from afar, and saw two golden eagles following him, so he flew down a little, shouted at Xun Qingran, Xun Qingran waved his hand, and the snow ball chased towards Qi You.

After Xun Qingran had breakfast, Xuan'er woke up, ate milk, played for a while, and then began to look around with her eyes wide open, as if she was looking for something.

"At this time, the Fourth Master always hugs my sister for a while. Are you looking for the Fourth Master?" the nurse said with a smile.

Xun Qingran picked up Xuan'er, "Dad has something to do and will come back soon. Xuanxuan wants to be good and wait with her mother for her father to come back."

All day, Xun Qingran calculated where Qi You should go, and was always a little uneasy. It was not until the lights were held, and the dinner was put on, and everyone was persuaded to force a bowl of rice.

Before, Tang came to Xun Qingran when he was young, saying that everything was fine in the city and told Xun Qingran not to worry. He also said that the gate had been closed early and that Xun Qingran would rest early.

Although the city is still far from the center of the earth, Xun Qingran thought it would be better to be careful. She asked the wife of the manager to patrol around and reminded everyone in the house to be more alert. She also specially put a slender bottle on the windowsill. In this way, if there is any ground movement, the sound of the bottle falling off can also be an alarm.

"Grandma, sleep with confidence. I will take my men to the night shift and keep you safe." said Madam Xu.

"Madam, it's harder." Xun Qingran nodded.

Xun Qingran kept both children by her side, and the nanny of Platycodon, Malt, Fusheng and Xuan'er were all working on the floor in the house.

Because there was something in my heart, Xun Qingran was not sleeping very well. He heard a click, and Xun Qingran sat up in horror. The bottle had fallen off the windowsill... into pieces.
